I'm using spotdl as part of some other code, and I keep getting these errors when trying to download songs from a spotify playlist. I tried going into the config and changing bitrate to 128k but it didnt work :(

this is the command for downloading songs

#

Oh it's in the same directory of the code

stable ginkgo

#

It's pretty much just giving the command to spotdl, the rest of the code doesn't have anything to do w spotdl, just video editing and stuff

#

The first portion is downloading the songs anyways so... It's def a spotdl issue

stable ginkgo
#

(ahh universal fix πŸ₯€)

#

😭😭😭

stable ginkgo
#

:/

earnest willow
#

It's literally just download songs

earnest willow
#

It's literally just a random folder

#

But yea I'll try reinstalling TMR

#

Already tried updating pip, ffmpeg AND spotdl so πŸ’”
